For monomial inflationary potentials with k≥4, the inflaton regenerates from the thermal bath after reheating because its amplitude-dependent mass vanishes asymptotically.
Generalizes UFO to T ~ a^{-ξ} and introduces GUFO from gravitational production, extending DM mass reach to 10^7 GeV for n=2 in matter-like reheating.
Stronger couplings or inflaton-seeded initial abundance allow freeze-in dark matter to match the relic density while evading DAMIC-M and PandaX bounds for reheating temperatures below the electroweak scale.
Ultrarelativistically decoupling dark matter in Z' portal models has direct detection cross sections that existing experiments like LZ and XENONnT have already excluded over large regions, leaving testable space above the neutrino fog for 0.4 GeV to 1 TeV masses.
A multiverse cosmological selection mechanism in an SM extension with scalar singlet and RH neutrinos under B-L dynamically fixes the EW scale while addressing neutrino masses, leptogenesis, and dark matter.
